Atlanta, Ga., March 30.—
Editors Citizen.—Remembering
that in the long ago Dalton took
quite an interest in the little Con
federate cemetery near Resaca,
which has the honor of being the
first in the South. I feel encour
aged to ask your influence through
the columns of your paper to
arouse a patriotic feeling among or
the ladies of your city, and get
them to assist us in its restoration.
Some time ago the fence was
accidentally burned and that has
left the graves of the noble sol
diers, buried there, exposed to the
ravages of wandering stock.
I feel deeply interested in this
cemetery because my former home in
was near it, and I feel so identi
fied with all the work done there
I have written to various Chapters
of the Daughter’s of the Confed
eracy in this and other states and
have received aid from Tennessee
and Mississippi as well as from
Georgia.
Calhoun is working nobly
through Mrs. Simmons, the Presi
dent of the Memorial Association
there. We are trying to build a
wire and iron fence that cannot be
injured by fire, but we need at
least $100 more.. Can you give
me the names of any ladies of
your city who would be interested
in Confederate work?
Perhaps the young people would
be willing to get up some enter
tainment to aid this cause. I will
be very glad to hear from you and
anything that you can do shall be
esteemed a great favor.
Respectfully,
Miss M. J. Green.

hope to have a good attendance.
If the wheelmen could only re

again hear the too familiar sound
of the rain pattering on the roof.
Last week after three days of dry
weather old Probabilities, the
weather prophet, drew down the
corners of his mouth and began to
tell the neighbors that the rain
was over and that we were going
to have a long dry spell, and the
dryest summer that had ever been
seen. I don’t know how he will
fix it now, but for our part we
have learned to leave the weather
in the hands of an All-wise Provi

As we did not attend any of them
we cannot give results, but are as-

Our community has been, as it
were, in a hole for the last three
weeks, owing to the grading of
the Hammond hill. However the
hill has now disappeared and we
have only one hill between us and

a fine road maker and we hope he
may get a contract to grade all the

HID ON A BIG BLUFF.
HOKE FERTILIZERS THAN EVER.
A Moonshine Distillery That Was Practi
cally Inaccessible.
Deputy Marshal Starling Rob
erts, Deputy Collector C. Meridith
and a man named Dennis Hughes,
are giving thrilling accounts of a
raid which they made on an al
most impregnable illicit distillery
in Dawson eounty.-
The moonshine still was hidden
away in a nest of big boulders on
the side of a large bluff that rises
several hundred feet from the
banks of the Hightower river.
There was no way to reach the
still except by way of a boat. The
moonshiners had blockaded all
other means of approach and they
always went across the river in
boats and climbed up the rocky
cliff to the little cave-like hollow
among the boulders where they
distilled the mountain dew.
The moonshiners also had to
transport the corn for the whiskey
and the fuel for the fires, from
across the river.
The raiding revenue men se
cured a boat and floated down the
river to a point opposite the dis
tillery, where they pulled into the
shore.
After climbing over some big
rocks the officer's were stopped by
array of about twenty beer

with the
an
stands full of beer. There was no
way to pass the barrels and they
were compelled to climb over. In
a minute the officers stepped into
sight of the still, which was run
ning in full blast. The men were
operating the still, but only one
was in sight. As soon as he saw
the revenue men he made a dash
for his boat, to escape by that way.
The officers blocked his way but
the moonshiner was determined.
He sprang right through the block
ade formed by the forms of the
three men, and was nearly into
his boat when Dennis Hughes
caught him. This only -accelera
ted the moonshiners movements.
He jumped into the river and
jerked Hughes in with him. The
moonshiner commenced swimming
for the opposite bank, but Hughes
was right after him as fast as his
arms could pull him through the
water.
It was a thrilling race. The
moonshiner thought it was a life
and death case with him, and he
put in his most vigorous licks to
get away from Hughes.
Both were splendid swimmers
and they cut the water like a fish.
The moonshiner was assisted in
his efforts by his fear and excite
ment and he managed to reach the
bank a few feet in. advance of his
pursuer. He scrambled up the
bank and when his feet hit the
dry ground he was safe. He
proved himself'a more remarkable
sprinter than a swimmer, and af
ter following him for about a mile
Mr. Hughes gave up the race,
and returned to the still, which,
the other officers had destroyed
during his absence.
The twenty stands of beer were
emptied and all vestige of the dis
tillery was utterly demolished.—

The shipping season
fertilizer men in just drawing to a
close, but they have seen enough
to justify them in the assertion
that this has been about the big
gest season in Georgia, at least,
that they have ever had.
A prominent fertilizer man on
the Bay estimates the increased
output of the different factories for
this year at 10 to 25 per cent,
more than it was for last year.
One of the factory men stated he
had shipped everything he had in
stock, all that was held over from
the year before, and was working
extra time in order to turn out
enough fertilizers to supply the
heavy demand.
The consumption of fertilizers
in Georgia for the year ending in
1896 was 335,000 tons, and with
the increase indicated it will run
up somewhere in the neighborhood
of 400,000 tons this year, or nearly
800,000,000 pounds. This means
somewhere in the neighborhood of
25,000 carloads, and includes the
cottonseed meal used as fertilizers
as well as the regular phosphate
fertilizers.
Shippers of fertilizers assign
several reasons for these increased
shipments, among others being the
good price received for the cotton
crop last year, and then the re
duction in the price of fertilizers,
due to several facts, one of which
is the reduced freight rate. The
fertilizer men, however, do not
consider that the freight rate re
duction has had very much to do
with the increased shipments. At
any rate, such shipments would
appear to indicate a more prosper
ous condition among the farming
classes, and it looks also as if more
extensive tracts would be put un
der cultivation this year. This,
perhaps, means a greater variety of
products, as there has been noth
ing to indicate that the planting
of cotton will be any heavier than
it was the year before.—News.
